2007

This is one of two photos that I took of Pankrac, in uncertain lighting conditions, so I ended up bracketing even with the Lomo. This one I shot at f11 and 1/250, I think, which made it too dark technically, but better in some ways than the f11 1/125 bracket, which was the other one.

This was my "proper" shot of Pankrac, with appropriate exposure.

This was a strictly experimental shot that I took in Sidliste Haje, like so many of my experimental shots there. I had to bracket this to get it right, and I think I ended up settling on f16 and 1/125, although I could be misremembering. I don't keep a notebook for the Lomo.

Trams pass by the old Mestan Pivovar all the time, but this was a lucky shot.

This is the first of a series of black and whites that I took on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway on my third visit there on February 18th, 2007. I started shooting black and white, if I'm not mistaken, when I got to Oxenhope, but I have to admit that in general these photos may not be in perfect order. Here we see ex-L&Y #957, built in 1887 (really!!), and Taff Vale #85, which is also ancient. The 957 is my favorite, though, being an L&Y "Ironclad" 0-6-0, as brutally authentic as a vintage British steamer can get. Neither is the oldest I've ever ridden behind, but they come close. They're also both quite small, so our train was headed by both locomotives.

Here we are accelerating out of Oxenhope.

I don't know exactly where this was, but maybe some of you K&WV volunteers could enlighten me. Although I've been over the K&WV three times, I don't claim to know it well.

As on Picture 1, I don't know the location of this shot, so any advice would be welcome.

I'm 90% certain that this is Damems, but if anyone knows better please clue me in.

Again, I'm 90% certain this is Damems. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm again not sure of the correct order of these shots, but this is a shot back at Keighley before either an earlier run than the first that I showed, or a later one after the first. This wasn't the train I rode, though, as far as I know.

Whenever or in whatever context that I took this (I don't remember) I like it. :-)

Here's a shot of 957 running around at Keighley. In reality, both 957 and 85 ran around, but seperately.

I took this out of a train window and over 957's tender at Keighley. I just liked the shot.

Apparently a lot of people had line permits for the weekend, as it was a Steam Gala weekend. I never found out whether they were working for the railway, for a magazine, for themselves, or a combination of things, probably a combination.

Either this was at the start of the previous run or halfway through the second one, I'm not sure.

This one is kind of an oddity that I took at Keighley.

Here's another oddity that I finished the roll of Ilford with. Maybe it's not as dramatic as the Keighley & Worth Valley stuff, but it is still, I think, a valid use of an FP4 frame.
